ATLANTA -- As Braves third-base coach Bo Porter attempted to help Adonis Garcia get accustomed to playing left field by hitting him fly balls before a game at Citi Field earlier this month, Garcia made it known that he was not happy about the fact he was being asked to make a transition from third base. A few days later, he was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett and given the assignment to learn how to play left field.
Garcia returned to the Majors on Friday, when the Braves recalled him from Gwinnett and designated Reid Brignac for assignment.
